The Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease (PFCD) will hold a briefing on needed improvements to Maryland’s health care exchange. A new study by PFCD and a public opinion research poll sponsored by MedChi will provide new data and analysis of actual patient experiences and public perceptions around improving health care delivered through the exchange marketplace.

The goals of this effort are to raise awareness among Maryland policymakers, the media and the general public of current barriers to access and care and to set the stage for public policy that improves the quality and accessibility of health care coverage in Maryland.

• Gene Ransom, CEO, MedChi

• Dr. Gerard Anderson, Faculty Member at Johns Hopkins University
